Abstract

In at least some embodiments, a system comprises an electronic device having an adjustable hardware inventory and control logic coupled to the electronic device. The control logic initially allocates a first amount of power to the electronic device based on predetermined maximum power needs of the electronic device and later allocates a second amount of power to the electronic device based on a determination of a true hardware inventory of the electronic device.
